Where We Eat
Jane and Michael Stern: Woodside Farm
Hockessin, DE
It's all about the ultra-rich milk that goes into this impossibly luxurious ice cream, and the farm's philosophy that happy cows give the best milk. The milk is produced by a small herd of pretty and pampered Jersey cows lovingly cared for right on the Woodside Farm property.
There are lots of flavors on offer, but the Sterns say go for the vanilla cream. It's simply the richest and best ever and makes all other premium ice creams taste like ice milk.
